What the Law Says: NJ Personal Injury Law and Union City Claims

Three legal pillars shape personal injury practice in Union City:

N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8 — verbal threshold statute (auto-injury pain-and-suffering gate)
N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2 — two-year statute of limitations (start date: injury date)
NJ modified comparative fault — plaintiff can recover if not more than 50% at fault

Auto-accident claims must clear the verbal threshold before pain-and-suffering damages are available. Fractures, permanent injuries, and significant disfigurement all qualify. Non-economic damages are available in full for claims that clear the gate. Avery & Avery, Esqs. has handled Hudson County personal injury cases since 1976, evaluating threshold eligibility at no charge in an initial consultation.
